15 Answers Is there anyone out there looking for a fashion designer that can draw out ideas, but can't sew? If not, do you know where I can go to find someone like that? Anywhere I can look? I'm trying to teach myself how to sew a little better, but until then, what to do? Thread Summary |

There are loads of low-cost programs (probably at your local junior/community college) that offer solid sewing, draping, marking, grading and pattern making classes. If you tell me what geographical area you live in, I can probably point you to a trade school that will offer some cool classes.

| | | Anyone looking for a Fashion Illustrator? Is anyone looking to hire a fashion illustrator? Like I said before, I'm a 23 yr old fashion designer wannabe(drawing fashion since I was 10). I know how to draw really well, but I can't sew that good. I'm almost there, but not quite yet. I'm tired of people seeing my fashions, and telling me "oh, those are really nice and creative drawings! You need to be in the fashion industry!" When they say stuff like that, I get kind of down, because that's how bad I want to be a fashion designer! Yes, I'm going to school and is taking up sewing classes as they come along. But in the meantime..... Long story short, let me know if you know where I can look to get a fashion job, or fashion illustration. Or if anyone is looking for one I would really appreciate it! | | |  | Junior Member | |

| | | Has anyone ever studied through Penn Foster or Stratford Career Institute?  Wuzup,
I'm a 23 year old fashion designer wannabe (read my other posts, please). I know how to draw, but am not that good at sewing. I'm currently taking a sewing class at a local fabric store (Hancock Fabrics) but it's not enough for me, because it's so short! Wednesdays only for 5 weeks (1 day out the week).I like it because it's teaching me something, which is better than nothing, but that's all I can find right now. I was thinking for a long time whether or not going through Penn Foster or Stratford Career Institute, but I'm hearing a few bad things about them... Stratford especially. I know it's better to have hands on experience when it comes to sewing, but I think these schools can still teach me SOMETHING through books and online. But I keep looking at people's reviews from these schools and some have good stuff to say about them, and the other half doesn't. So that's making me skeptical of whether I should go through with it or not. I need someone's opinion that has been with these 2 schools, & other schools, too. What should I find out before I go through with it? WHAT SHOULD I ASK? How are they when it comes to payments or cancelling, shipping, or shipping costs, fee, and a lot of other stuff that I should know before I apply to these schools. If anyone knows from experience, or knows someone that been through them, PLEASE HELP A SISTA OUT! I will appreciate it! | | |  | Junior Member | |

| | | Is an at Home Fashion Illustration Job a good idea?  Once again, I'm a 23 fashion designer wannabe (read my other posts). I know how to draw really really well, but I can't sew that great yet. I wanted to make an at home sewing business, but still learning how to sew. Have to get a lil' better at it first. So next thing I'm thinking is starting a home business where I can design someone's outfit, wedding/prom dress, etc... & they get someone to sew it. But it just does not sound right to me! People want someone to design AND make their outfit...they are not going to want to look on their own to find someone to sew their outfit! Right? Or wrong?Please tell me, I don't really know. And I don't know anyone that I can refer them to, except the yellow pages (lol). If I start this business, how will people react? Are there actually people out there looking for someone to draw their wedding dress etc but not sew it? How should I advertise something like this? Or what should I put on my business card? "I can design it, but you have to find someone to sew it yourself". That just don't sound right. Any other questions and/or answers you come up with, please post them! Thanks | | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | Add your answer here.
